I was given a Wacom Cintiqu tablet. It shows the screen on the tablet. I love it. I can use it to draw easier than I did my other tablet. But it takes some playing to get to where you can do it. I wish someone had tutorials that would walk you step by step through them though. There's so much more I'd love to learn to do with mine.

I keep toying with the idea of getting a Bamboo tablet (I like to doodle & would love to make my own font), but I keep telling myself to wait - I have enough things I need to catch up on & learn first! lol

I won a Bamboo tablet at a Christmas party and I rarely use it. It takes some getting use to, but I do like it for extractions. I just don't have the space on my desk to use it unless I want to sit in an awkward position. If I change my room around I may try to make room for more of my tools...

I love love love my Bamboo tablet. I will never go back to using a mouse (for scrapbooking or designing)! I think what helped me best was to take an online Illustrator class (Jessica Sprague) which gave me lots of practice in Illustrator and by default, using the tablet. I think I just googled "how to adjust wacom pen settings in Photoshop/Illustrator" to set it up correctly.

I have a Waucom Intuos but seldom use it. Like someone upthread said earlier, I should probably get in there and play with it. To me it always feels sort of clumsy and as others have said, I don't have good desk space for it, so it's easier just to use the mouse. But like everything new, I just need to make the effort to learn to use it. Going to check out the penscrappers link and the wireless adapter. That make make all the difference.

I also have a Bamboo Tablet and I love it! It's true that it takes some time to getting used to the pen but once I had finished my first painting with ArtRage I was convinced. It's such fun to find out all the posibilities. I was lucky to get a version of the tablet which includes three programs: ArtRage, CorelPainter Essentials and Photoshop Elements 11. It will probably take me 10 years to learn all of them but well, that way I have an excuse to spend so much time in front of my PC lol.

I just gave a gift for being a good girl to myself, and bought an used bamboo tablet. It´s definitelly a up-to-date model, but it seems to have been used few times, and I paid something I could pay for it, in three very smooth parcels. As I´m not sure if I´ll adapt to it or not, better start at low-profile. Well, for now, I don´t know anything about it. I made the tutorial that comes at the instalation CD, and tried to write a bit on it. I tried to adjust photoshop settings, but I still couldn´t do it - nothing happens when I follow the tut :p

I am in love with my tablet, and completely used. The learning curve was waaaay shorter than I could imagine, and I can make great extractions and good drawings already. The problems that I was having are part of an issue between Windows 7 and wacom drivers. Sometimes I need to reinstall the drivers because windows don´t recognize them.
